Liquidation is the process in which the company winds up all its operations and sells its assets to repay its liability if any. When a company is not in a position to continue its business, the company liquidates. In UAE, the liquidation of the company depends upon the type of company and different rules and regulations for the Mainland, Free zone, and Offshore companies.
The liquidation of the Company in Ajman can execute by following the provisions of Commercial Company law. Also, the liquidation of the free zone and offshore companies is very easy as compared to the liquidation of the Mainland company as the Mainland company has to appoint a liquidator who will do the liquidation process.
Reasons for liquidation
To Liquidate a company certain procedures and conditions need to be followed in accordance with the regulations of the suitable authority.
